Btw, I was just telling my team how yarn nudges about using PnP which definitely be helpful in case of npm registry outage like this ``` The registry appears to be down (using a local cache might have protected you against such outages) ``` yarnpkg.com/features/pnp

True, although you can also use the local cache without PnP!

That'll only solve the problem in developer workspaces right, and not in CI where fresh installation needs to happen?

You can check-in your cache in your repository even when using the node_modules or pnpm linkers. Of course the repo will be a little larger, so that's the tradeoff.
